 Intercultural Meeting with a Dutch  Youth Group.




Last Wednesday joined us a dutch youth group in our weekly meetings. Altogether we were about 30 persons. The dutch group was composed of the youngsters in the age between 14 and 16 years and their youthleaders.
Caused to the great weather we started  the energizers outside.

 The spoken languages were Spanish, English and Dutch. So that the first contact  between the youngsters was of course mostly shy. But with the first activities it became more open and funnier. 

 
 The main activity was a role-play with 3 planets and their special rules, living conditions and characters. Next to love-addicted individualists lived the peaceful peasents and the religious peace-breakers. And all of them just wanted to safe their lives.


It was very funny, because for safing the own territory from intruders or the try to reproduce yourself, it's well-known that language is not absolutely needed. 

Afterwards we considered the happening and evaluated the relation to the real world. Always tri-lingual, but with patient and open minds a very interesting conversation was possible.
